As Autumn draws near don’t abandon the water sports – Splashing around at the local pool is great fun for all the family and a great way to stay fit in the water.

Swimming is believed to be an ideal exercise for people of any ages – It helps tone you up and slim you down and you don’t have to be an ace swimmer to get the benefits.
Swim with family and friends and mums and dads get your children confident and happy in the water – enrol them for lessons and they won’t look back.

Whether you can swim or not, or just feel like trying

something a bit different why not have a go at aqua-aerobics. Thanks to the resistance of the water swimming is, generally, kinder to your body than land-based exercise because your natural buoyancy in water helps you avoid the jarring knocks that can cause injuries - In water you weigh about a tenth of your normal weight !

Swimming is also believed to slow down the aging process – our bodies thrive on exercise, and regualr exercise can add years to your life.
So keep those goggles, bikinis and trunks ready and let me know how you get on.

What are we looking for?

Modelling is a very competitive industry, we need new faces who have what it takes to go that extra mile and get themselves noticed!

To be a model you need to be…

AMBITIOUS
This is a very competitive industry and many people want to be models, from young babies to senior citizens and everyone in between! But don’t let this put you off. Be ambitious – you don’t know until you try and you really have nothing to lose!

CONFIDENT
You need to be happy and comfortable with yourself. You must look relaxed and confident on camera and enjoy posing. Ask a friend to take loads of snap shots of you, pretend you’re a star, experiment with different facial and body poses. Send us a selection of the best.

ABLE TO HANDLE REJECTION
You have been selected to be a model because we feel you have something special. However, you will not always have what a particular client is looking for and you won’t get selected every time. Do not let this put you off!

Change your photos regularly to show how versatile you can be.

HAVE STAMINA
It is important to be mentally and physically fit to be a model. Not only do you want to keep your shape, but you may also be required to stand all day for a photo shoot and still look your best!

PREPARED
You may find you have to travel to get to assignments. You will need to make sure you are organised and prepared so that you don’t let the client down. Let your model coordinator know how far you are willing to travel – we also deal with international assignments so make sure your passport is in date!

PUNCTUAL
First impressions are all important. A client may not want you back if you turn up late and aren’t ready to start. Make sure you are well prepared before the event – call your coordinator to check you have all the correct details of the assignment. Make sure you are a little early so that you are ready so start on time.

ORGANISED
It is also important to be organised and keep you file here up to date – if you move, let us know, if you change your number, hair colour, email

address – we need to know! We also need your up to date pictures – keep a record somewhere of when they were last updated so you know when it’s time to get snapping again!

WELL PRESENTED
It is hard to look good all the time but models should endeavour to show themselves at their best whenever they can. Take time to get ready, think about your look – your hair, makeup, clothes – your whole image…. Especially when you are heading for that assignment!
Remember – be yourself and just go for it! - Jenny

Why not suggest a friend applies to us and sends their picture?
